The Weekly General Discussion Thread is for the r/Piracy community to discuss whatever is on their mind, whether it is related to digital piracy or not.
🪶 ➜ Follow the Rules
- Rules are still applicable, so please do not request specific pirated content (ie. specific movie, book, etc.) and definitely don't link to any. Do not mention specific media names asking for help in finding them.
📜 ➜ Wiki + Megathread
- Don't forget to browse the Wiki, which contains a Megathread with a list of sites/apps, tools, FAQ, and other useful resources.
- Your question also may have been asked previously - you can search the subreddit via the search bar or even google - example: https://i.imgur.com/1jA767u.jpg

Do we think the new encryption from Kindle 5.18 will be broken, or will the account-specific key be too difficult to bypass/get at?
Edit: sorry, I’m a menace. Megathread has been read. Can iPhone do anything?
OG: YouTube Premium/Music has been steadily increasing the price - I paid $9/month on a student account a few years ago and now I pay $20/month. How can I get the service for free or something comparable on an iPhone?
Hey, getting a new pc soon. What's the easiest way to install a pirated Windows nowadays?
Download ISO from massgrave, use Rufus tool and massgrave dev for activation after installation.
Does anyone know why when downloading from steamrip, seemingly random games (examples including forza, and dead island) give me an error saying "steam is not launched". I've tried opening them with steam open but get the same error. (Sorry if I wasn't supposed to say specific games, the wording is funky so I wasn't quite sure)
Crack has ben quarantined by defender, check proteciton history and restore crack/allow crack.
Thank you, I'll try that as soon as I can.
Forgive me if this is a boring topic but what is ethical framework around piracy?
idk who needs to hear this but using Flud instead of utorrent on Android is A LOT better. I do not remember the switch being this large when I switched a few years ago from utorrent to bittorrent on Desktop.
Flud has this satisfying pieces-view. And also it just downloads faster - i have no idea how this can possibly the case but it for sure is.
Flud can bind to vpn on android. Only way I trust my wife to torrent. It's great.
Clair Obscur won so many awards last night that I’m gonna pirate it out of spite (also because I haven’t heard a single bad thing about it)
Dispatch and Death Stranding definitely deserved something though :'(
I am having trouble installing the roms games. can anyone help me? Specifically NSP/XCl
What is your issue with them?
I remember a few years ago my yuzu wouldn't take the xci of some mario game but the nsp did work (or vice versa i don't remember for sure).
https://deezmate.com/en is deezmate legit? I saw it on the megathread here but i tried looking for reviews about it elsewhere but could not find anyone mention it.
Mods, isn't it time to update the Megathread?
Sites like https://forcoder.net/ are no longer free and shouldn't be listed.
How is it not free? Just went and downloaded something no problem.
A recent submission? He decided in November that "TurboBit was a scam" and only RapidGator would be used from then on.
Coincidentially, downloading from Rapidgator requires a paid subscription to an uploader named "scanlibs"
Well despite what it might say, I clicked the rapid gator slow download link and got the file just fine. The most recent submission.Â
Try again, just now. Does it let you?
I have now downloaded 3 different files, all recent submissions.
I got throttled, saying I must wait for several hours to download again.
So how can I extract files once? Every time I wanna play OFF, I have to extract them before I'm able to boot up the game
Which site did you get it from and what happens when you try booting up the already extracted files?
I think off Media fire, and the program refuses to launch when I click on the extracted files
Maybe the files you got were bad/incomplete and the game couldn't store or retrieve save data without bugging out? Anyway, just go in the megathread and download it from another site.
not new to piracy, but new to unraid, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr....
i'm so confused about the indexers. i have a handful of public ones set, but seem to struggle to complete some seasons (especially of kid shows that my daughter loves). as far as i can tell there's no way to add my own indexer to prowlarr? i just have to work off the list?
What happes if I donwload a game with windows defender off and after downloading I turn it back on?
Defender will cry after, so just exclude or allow threat.
Okk thanks
Keygen for a download of Sony Vegas PRO 13 x64 I got off of Internet Archive seems to keep triggering virus flags.
Can anyone vouch for its safety, or should I look for it on another site?
Just started downloading ableton off via torrent off rutracker and my VPN (surfshark) highlighted a downloaded file as a Trojan - should I delete it? Or is it safe?
Anyone know how to watch live sports on stremio
USAtv addon:
https://guides.viren070.me/stremio/setup#live-tv--sports
Derbridio has a TV addon that I've had pretty good luck with, too.
does anyone have a link please to the thread on here to ask if "a certain torrent site" is down? I don't mean a general is it down site, I mean the thread where people post
Matey! ➜ u/On-A-Vendetta, it appears that you inquired if a website is down.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
does anyone have the list of the sites
You mean the Megathread?
Is AN1 mobile download app safe?.
I'm using the streaming site 1shows from the mega thread but it keeps buffering, I'm wondering if the desktop applications from the mega thread also buffer? Or if that's just streaming sites.
Sorry if thats a dumb question, I'm not great with tech and want to find a solution that isn't downloading media individually.
Edit: I use brave browser on my laptop and connect it to my TV using hdmi cable.. does doing it like this also contribute to choppyness/buffering?
Applications like stremio use different sources/methods so they can work without buffering. In some cases they use torrents tho, so make sure you are protected if you live in a country that cares like the US or germany
Any sites to watch formula 1?
Not sure if it's the best place to ask but do y'all know an apk version of twitter with no ads, disables the age restriction they put, and allows for automatic translation?
I'm using aero twitter rn but it only blocks the ads on your TL and not the ads in the comments and doesn't have the other two functions i want... (It only translates when you click on a post which is kinda annoying when half your TL is in Japanese for some reason)
Is there any site where I can watch live some top tv channels like HBO and others?I tried some from megathread but they are geolocked...
use a vpn to get around geoblocks,.
and while you're at it maybe consider torrenting instead of streaming
What sports streaming sites do people use these days? My regular one seems to be done. Thanks for any help.
Search in this sub for the one you were using, those threads may contain alternatives.
How often does red have interviews, couldn’t find it
They have queque counter, so they can do it at any time.

Bro your on a pirating subreddit. I feel this might be the wrong place to ask. It seems like buying a subscription is kind of antithetical to r/piracy. Maybe try the subreddit of a streaming service or something.
 Wondering if sport stream sites constantly crash the stream and buffer this season? Can't tell if it's my device or on their side and not sure what to do
I've had zero luck finding a decent red zone stream all season. They all glitch, buffer out, disconnect, and drop all day.
Feels better to see this. I wonder if media realized the best way to combat streams is flooding the zone with bot comments
Seems like 456movie may be down, anyone else able to use it?
It stopped working for me too :(
Came here to see if anyone else is having issues with it, it’s down for me too

Very interested in this.
